Product Description

iMatrix-511 SILK

iMatrix-511 SILK is recombinant human Laminin 511-E8 fragments expressed by transgenic silkworm cocoon. Laminin 511 is known to bind to Intergin α6β1 of the cell surface. 

Application
iMatrix-511 SILK can be used as cell culture matrix for various cell types including ES/iPS cells.

Specifications
Product Size: 1050 ug  (175 ug x 6 pcs.)
Format: Liquid Solution (175 ug/vial @0.5 mg/mL), Solvent: PBS (-) 
Storage temperature: 2-15 °C

Activity
The dissociation constant of the binding activity with integrin α6β1 is under 10nM.

Procedure

1. Dilute the solution with sterile PBS (-). Coat dishes with 0.5 ug/cm². Add 2 mL of diluted iMatrix-511 solution to the well. The optimal coating concentration depends on cell lines from 0.1 to 1.5 ug/cm². (For example, when you use 6-well plate (9.6 cm²/well), add 9.6 ul of iMatrix-511 (4.8 ug) in 1.99 ml of PBS(-).)

2. Incubate for 1 hour at 37 °C, 3 hours at room temperature, or over night at 4 °C.

3. Remove remaining fluid from the coated surface. No rinse is needed.

4. Immediately plate the cells at desired density.

Notes: Don't allow the plate to dry. Briefly spin down all liquid in the tube before use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
